Looking for co-founder

Hi! I recently graduated (May 2026) with a degree in Life Sciences and I'm based in the Bay Area. I'm really interested in startups, especially HealthTech, and I have a few ideas I'd love to actually build and take further.

I'm not great at coding, but I'm good at coming up with ideas, understanding the healthcare side, and visualizing how a product could work and be improved. I think my strengths are more on the product/strategy side.

I'm looking to connect with someone with a software engineering background who is also genuinely interested in building a HealthTech startup. I eventually want to build something real, grow a team, and turn it into a successful company.

If you're serious about building a startup and think we might complement each other, feel free to DM me. Would love to connect!

P.S.: I live in Bay Area. I am already working on an idea but it requires a lot of coding.

How do you pitch to CTO’s

I have a product not completely built yet. The CTO’s ready to collab and build it but I want the license to sell it as a SaaS to other companies.

How do I pitch it to him so that he doesn’t copy the ideas yet to build and still collaborate. Because if I deny the collab, he could still copy the ideas.

How do I approach this? It takes me a lot of time to build it compared to the company of the CTO.

Looking to Connect with People Interested in Digital Projects

Hi everyone !

I’m interested in connecting with people who are looking to collaborate on digital projects and build something together.

I’m currently working in areas such as websites, social media, SEO, digital marketing, advertising, and design, and I’d like to connect with people who have complementary skills, client connections, or experience in sales/business development.

The idea is simple: find opportunities together, understand the client’s requirements, work together on the project, and agree on a fair profit-sharing arrangement based on the work and contribution involved.

I’m not looking to hire anyone or promote a specific service. I’m simply looking for genuine, like-minded collaborators who are interested in sharing opportunities and growing together.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to DM me and we can have a conversation.

Extras: pick a "franchise idol" to build around, blitz games at up to MAX speed, chase a Hall-of-Fame dynasty across seasons.

Sales/strategy guy looking to team up with builders and creative polymaths on something meaningful

I have around 3.5 years of experience across equity research, competitive intelligence, and go-to-market strategy. I’ve worked on figuring out how businesses grow, what makes markets move, and how to position something so it actually lands with the right people.
What I bring to the table:

  1. Sales and GTM strategy: positioning, market sizing, competitive analysis, figuring out where the real opportunity is

  2. Creative brainstorming: I like breaking down vague ideas into something workable, and I’m just as comfortable challenging an idea as building on it

  3. A genuine interest in working on something that matters, not just another SaaS clone chasing a quick exit

I don’t have a fixed idea yet. What I have is the skill set, the curiosity, and the bandwidth to dig in. I’m looking for creative thinkers, generalists, and polymaths who are building (or want to build) something that could genuinely be useful at scale. Could be early stage, could be just a strong idea looking for someone to help shape the go-to-market side.
If you’re working on something and think an extra strategic mind could help, or if you’re also looking for people to build with, drop a comment or DM. Happy to jump on a call and see if there’s a fit.

Memory system for RAG + agents

One thing we were trying to solve for a while, is how to record memory on certain documents or data sets, specifically so that in it can flag certain things found during retrieval or generation that are gonna be common searches or probably should be known or organization wide.

Here’s an article we wrote about how we implemented it, and it works pretty well.

https://laceplatform.com/blog/multi-axis-memory-architecture/

And I’m curious, has anyone else implemented something similar or something that solves the same problem?

[Hiring] Growth/GTM Freelancer to open the US market — Early-stage SaaS startup | hiring salary + commission + possible equity

We are an early-stage startup (MVP in validation) building inventory management software for home staging in the US.

We're looking for a freelancer with real experience or footing in the US market to help us validate and open the market: find our first real customers, test acquisition channels, and give us signal on what works before we scale budget.

What we're looking for

  • Experience launching/doing growth for B2B SaaS startups targeting SMBs, ideally in real estate, home services, or similar niche industries.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity — this is validation work, not executing an already-proven playbook.
  • Nice to have (not required): knowledge of or connections in the US home staging world.
  • Skill mix: light outbound, community engagement, basic content/SEO, or experience running scrappy growth experiments.
  • English native or Spanish with strong English, but the work targets the US market exclusively.

What we're NOT looking for

  • Big agencies or heavy process — we're a tiny startup at MVP stage.
  • Someone who needs heavy hand-holding — we want autonomy and simple result reporting.

Compensation structure

  • Budget: $5,000 USD (initial retainer/project for validation)
  • + Commission per customer acquired/activated
  • + Possible equity if the collaboration works

How to apply

Briefly tell us: (1) your experience with B2B SaaS GTM/growth, (2) any connection to the US home staging/real estate world, (3) which channel you'd test first and why. Attach a portfolio/case studies if you have them.

Need a Co-Founder

Heyaa fellas, first things first im building a portfolio of high retention businesses and spent around 4 years researching behavioral psychology + financial models across Asian and Western markets. I did found systematic opportunities in consumer habits, subscription mechanics, and attention economics that incumbents ignore
Not building one product. Building 3-4 simultaneously. Different verticals, same underlying principles: compounding revenue, minimal churn, regulatory arbitrage [where appropriate]

My needs -
Technical architect (full-stack, systems thinking)
Growth lead (paid acquisition, funnel optimization)
Legal/ops (offshore structuring, entity setup, compliance)
Angels (if possible, to fasten my track)

The approach -
Long term holds, no flips. 5-7 year horizon. Revenue funded, no VC hype. Proper offshore structures from day1 (Singapore, UAE, Delaware holding companies) to optimize for global markets and legal clarity

What I expect in You -
Understand why Money wins at end. Have read finance and have proper knowledge with a spice to articulate your thoughts. Comfortable with gray areas if properly structured. Want to build Cash cow businesses, not chase valuations [yet, we will do it on later phases]

What you can expect from Me -
Research done across almost all verticals in horizontal depths. Network warm. Just need execution partners who think in systems, not features to aid. Will sleep under open sky and on land to shift every penny so that models dont suffocate [now u do get the idea of what kinda man i am]

DM with -
One business you admire for its retention mechanics (and why), to get your persona so I can conclude your fit
Your superpower (tech/growth/legal/Cash/Connections/Field worker)
Timezone/location

This is a long year taking game maybe around 5 or 10 and the cows arent fancy and simple so throw your idea of sunshines and rainbow with fame

Looking for potential co-founders / team members

Hey guys, I've been developing since college and have built multiple applications and SaaS products over the years.

Tech is pretty much my strongest area, I can build and ship products end-to-end. But I've realized that building the product is only one part of the equation. I’m not great at things outside development, and I’d rather find people who are genuinely strong in those areas instead of trying to do everything myself.

I'm looking to connect with potential co-founders / team members who can bring complementary skills, especially:

  • Marketing / Growth: someone who actually knows how to get users, test channels, build distribution, etc.
  • Sales / Business Development: someone comfortable talking to customers, selling, partnerships, and figuring out how to make money.
  • Product / UX: someone who can understand user problems, validate ideas, and help shape the product.

You don't necessarily need to have built a company before. What matters more to me is that you're serious, proactive, and willing to actually put in the work.

I'm not looking to hire anyone. I'm looking for people who want to build something together and potentially turn it into a real business.

If this sounds interesting and you feel you have something meaningful to bring to the table, drop a comment or DM me. Let's connect and see where it goes. 🤝

How can I find startup jobs in Bengaluru beyond LinkedIn?

I have been applying to various startups in Bengaluru through LinkedIn but have received no responses so far.

What are the other effective channels for finding startup job opportunities in Bengaluru? Are there any dedicated job platforms, startup communities, WhatsApp or Telegram groups, networking events, incubator networks, or other useful sources?

I would also like to know the best way to connect directly with founders, hiring managers, or startup employees. Does cold messaging work, and what kind of approach is most likely to receive a response?

I would appreciate practical advice from people who have successfully found startup roles in Bengaluru outside LinkedIn.

Starting a Team

I saw someone make a post like this a while back, and the idea stuck with me, so I figured I'd throw my own version out there.

I want to put together a small team of 2–4 people in the US or Canada and see what we can build.

I'm not looking for employees, and I'm not looking for people to work on my idea. I want to find a few ambitious people who actually want to build something together.

The biggest thing I'm looking for is reliability. I've worked with enough people who are excited for a week, miss meetings, stop responding, or slowly disappear when things get difficult. I'm looking for the opposite of that. Be present.

You don't have to know everything. I definitely don't. But if you say you're going to do something, do it. If we schedule a meeting, show up, or send a message. If something isn't working, say it. If an idea fails, we figure out why, kill it, and move on to the next one.

I'd especially like someone on the team who genuinely enjoys the people/business side of things — networking, talking to potential customers, marketing, finding funding opportunities, partnerships, etc. Not just someone willing to make a few calls, but someone who understands what we're building well enough to actually sell the vision.

I'm more on the technical/product side. I like finding problems, researching markets, building things, experimenting with AI, connecting it to programs, and figuring out whether an idea actually has legs.

I already have three pain points/business opportunities I've been researching that we could start with. But I'm not married to any of them. If somebody joins with something better, we'll investigate that too.

I also already have a business entity we could potentially operate under, although I'm completely open to creating something new. If we actually decide to build together, we'd put a real agreement in place so ownership, responsibilities, expectations, and what happens if somebody leaves are clear from the beginning.

I'm not expecting us to magically build a unicorn.

Maybe the first thing works. Maybe it completely bombs.

What I want is a group where, if it bombs, nobody disappears. We sit down, figure out what we learned, and build the next thing.

Basically, I'm looking for a few people who want to create the kind of team where everyone pushes each other to keep going.

No guru stuff. No "10x founder" nonsense. Just a few ambitious people who want to build something real and are willing to consistently put the work in.

If that sounds like you, send me a message. Tell me what you're good at, what you've worked on before, what you'd want to contribute, and what you're hoping to get out of something like this.

28M software engineer, employed, want to build something that eventually replaces my salary — no idea where to start

I'm 28, male, working full-time as a software engineer. Stable job, decent pay, no complaints there. But I want to build something of my own that could eventually replace my salary.

Problem: I have zero experience with this. I've never sold anything, never run a business, never freelanced. I can build software, but that's apparently the easy part. I don't have a product idea I'm attached to and I don't have a "pain point" story — I just know I don't want to be an employee for the next 30 years.

What I'm looking for:

- How did you find your first thing to work on when you didn't have an obvious idea?

- Did you start with services/freelancing/consulting first, or go straight to a product?

- What's a realistic timeline before something starts covering real bills?

- What do you wish someone had told you in year one?

Happy to be told my expectations are unrealistic. Just want honest input from people who've actually done it.

I built Miora because my bookmarks had become a graveyard

Most bookmark tools helped me save more. That wasn’t really my problem.

I wanted to find an old recipe, video or article from the one detail I still remembered. So I built Miora around that: keep the original source, get a short summary, and search it later in plain language.

I’m still testing the workflow and would appreciate honest feedback from people who already use bookmark managers. What usually makes you abandon one?

Looking for a co-founder to build something real

I tried posting something similar earlier looking for a technical co-founder, but I think I got the positioning wrong.
I’m not looking for a technical person anymore.
I’m looking for someone who actually wants to build a business with another person.
I’m based in India and currently work in sales, business development, international sourcing and exports. I have access to manufacturers/suppliers and have spent a lot of time figuring out how to actually find customers and sell products internationally.
What I don’t want to do is start another “AI startup” just because that’s what everyone seems to be doing right now.
I’m more interested in something tangible — consumer products, food, wellness, herbs/botanicals, sustainable products, private label, exports, etc.
But honestly, I’m not fixed on the industry either.
I’m more interested in finding the right person first, and then figuring out what makes sense for both of us.
You might be good at operations, manufacturing, product development, branding, finance, retail, supply chain, marketing, or something completely different.
The important thing is that you actually want to build.
I’m not looking for someone to give me advice for a few hours a week. And I’m not looking for someone who wants a salary.
I’d rather find someone who is willing to put serious time into this, test ideas, talk to customers, make mistakes, figure things out and eventually build something meaningful together.
I’m also not expecting you to blindly trust a stranger on Reddit and become co-founders tomorrow.
I’d rather start with a conversation, understand what you’ve done, what you’re good at, what you’re looking for, and see if there’s actually a fit.
If you’re interested, DM me with:
1. What are you currently doing?
2. What have you built/worked on before?
3. What do you think you’re really good at?
4. Why are you looking for a co-founder?
And please don’t DM me with just “I’m interested.” 😂
I’d genuinely rather have 3 serious conversations than 50 random DMs.
Maybe nothing comes out of it.
Maybe we end up building something together.
